  1. †  n,x: denote the number of times each residue was observed in each dataset; ‡  N,X: indicate the sample size for each dataset.
  2. * prob- values associated with any residues which are not observed in the TVR-naïve dataset (i.e., x = 0) are marked with an asterisk. The neutrally expected frequency of these amino acids at these positions can only be defined as < 1/X; therefore calculations for each of these positions assume 1 occurrence of the residue in the TVR-naïve dataset. Probability values for these residues should therefore be interpreted as upper bounds.
